Body Pillows come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and it can be a daunting task choosing the right one for you. Should you get a U shaped body pillows or the Standard l shaped body pillow, and how about the material, should you got with a Memory Foam Body Pillow, Goose Down, or the popular Microbead Body Pillows?
There really is no right or wrong choice, it all comes down to your preference and what feels right to you.
So what's the difference between the different types of body pillows? The difference can be very noticeable.
First, the Moshi or Microbead Body Pillows contain micro-sized beads inside that resist pressure of any kind resulting in that squishy bouncy feel. unlike the Memory foam, Moshi Pillows do not hold a form and therefore may not be the best choice if you are looking for a pillow that will help you keep a fixed position. Moshi Pillows are great though because they feel very nice, and you can squeeze them for every, kids really love them.
Goose Down Pillows contain the soft feathers from the Geese Breast area, the same area that Geese use to keep their eggs warm. The Goose Down feathers are very soft and retain heat very well, the down is de-quilled and you do not need to worry about being pinched by a shaft or quill. It is recommended that you dry clean the goose down pillows once a year.
Memory Foam is my favorite, but you need to be very particular about this type of Body Pillow because not all memory foam is created equal. Memory Foam, also known as visco elastic material, was developed by Nasa for their astronauts and has since been brought into the consumer market. I prefer memory foam that isn't too rigid, you should provide a comfortable level of Resistance as it uniformally molds around each pressure point. Memory foam can provide you with a very good level of support, but they also tend to cost the most.
Lastly, choose the body pillows that are right for you, don't spend anymore than you need to stay comfortable. Body Pillows are excellent and are something that everyone should consider but aren't for everyone. Try them out first and make your decision from there, but I'm sure most agree, body pillows can by the best type of pillow..
